Mahmoud Khalil, a recent Columbia graduate and pro-Palestinian protester, was arrested by ICE agents under dubious claims regarding his immigration status. Despite being a Green Card holder, agents initially asserted his student visa had been revoked. The incident occurred in front of his wife, prompting fears for her safety and confusion among officials regarding his legal status. Khalil's attorney attempted to intervene, confronting agents about their legal justification, but communication broke down, resulting in his detention pending a hearing.
The agents allegedly did not identify themselves at first, instead asking for Khalil's identity before detaining him.
Khalil was initially detained in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody in downtown New York, pending an appearance before an immigration judge.
